It's never too early.....

Well folks, I managed to grab some time to take a few pictures  as promised. After having had a play with them I have put a selection together for you along with some of the other ones that we currently stock. I have to say that red and white is one of my favourite ribbon colour combos as it reminds me of a Scandinavian Christmas.

I know it's ridiculously early to start bringing out the traditional Christmas reds and greens (I hear you all say) but I know a lot of crafters that are already preparing their gift stocks in time for the festive season. Our ribbons have been so popular which is why we are expanding our range to include more stripes, stitched, spots, plain and patterned.

We literally couldn't cope with the amount of orders we had last Christmas and so this year we are getting ready early. If there is a specific colour or design of ribbon you have in mind or you want large quantities please do get in touch with us.

It's a perfect time to start gathering your ribbon stash!

So what's new?

I'm sooo excited and can't wait to show you our lovely brand new ribbons. They arrived today and though it took me literally seconds to get them out the box I just need to find an extra day in the week so that I can get some photos taken.....so please bear with (oops that's a bit Miranda-ish lol).

Everyone seems to be going crazy for our wool felt bundles at the moment and so I've been having fun making up some new colourways for this coming Autumn. If you're making bits and bobs for a craft market or want to make gifts these bundles of loveliness are just perfect!

Have a Happy Glow!!

Oh my, it has been a little while since I last posted on here! We have just had a few relaxing days off (well needed!) and whilst going through the morning post received our brand new August issue of Vogue. They have featured our pretty Danish 'Happy Glow' tealight holders in their 'Vintage Collection'.

Add splashes of colour to your living space with this fabulous set of five Danish tealight holders.

a Bundle of Felt...

We are just starting to introduce our beautiful felt fabrics - the colours are so yummy and irresistible that I have already hidden a my own naughty little stash. Not quite sure exactly what I am going to make yet but I do have some owl shapes cut ready for sewing.... when I get an extra hour or so...... but in the meantime my patient little birdies are a work in progress.

Our felts come in pretty rainbow assorted bundles. They contain 30% Wool and 70% Rayon/Viscose - the quality of this felt makes it a joy to work with.

New Press Update!

After, just having recently typed up a post on our fabulous new 'Soda Boxes', mum and I were sitting having a cuppa looking through the latest June issue of Country Homes & Interiors when we had a rather lovely suprise. Our funky 'Soda Boxes' have been featured on pg.17, very happy bunnies indeed!

There is an unfortunate error on the listing price (these things happen!) but still it's always very exciting to be see our products on display.

           

Well, that was a short and sweet update for today, but then it is supposed to be a lazy weekend. Talking of sweet........I've just been handed a cheeky chunk of chocolate cake and a nice mug of tea (needs must) and so I'll leave you here and wish you all a great bank holiday. 

Funky Soda Storage Boxes

These bright and funky wooden soda boxes are a cool accessory this summer! They are very sturdy and come with removable compartments so can be used as an ordinary tray. Very rustic with a  retro feel. 

            

 

Five vibrant colours each printed with a different design. Fantastic storage boxes, I keep some crafty bits and bobs in mine. 

Hhmm.......the problem is which colour?

We Love Buttons!

There is something rather lovely and beautiful about buttons don't you think!?! It's a bit like Christmas when they arrive. Every bag has to be opened and then I can sit there happily looking at them for a little while with a big smile on my face - yes, I am easily pleased.

   

 Great for jewellery making, embellishments for cards, scrapbooking, sewing onto fabrics.

One of my favourites are these giant polka dot spotty buttons - I think they are fab! There 4 colours available, GREEN, RED, TEAL & HOT PINK. We also have little polka dot ones too, if you don't fancy big and bold.

       

We also have button jar mixes available which make lovely gifts for crafty people. If there are specific colours you would like to be put together in your jar please do get in touch and we'll be more than happy to make one up for you.
